Chapter 16: Strange Confessions
At the scene of Gao Yan's death, Li Muyu got a copy of the oral statement handed over to him by the serious crime team.
……
I was on duty tonight, and at six o'clock in the morning, when I was about to change shifts, I received an alarm call from the alarm desk.
It was an old voice on the phone, and it was later learned that the person who reported the incident was a tenant named Chen Guangyao, who lived in my area of responsibility.
The call to the police is a bit ridiculous.
The old man's voice on the phone sounded a little anxious, as if he had encountered something urgent, but after listening to the old man's narration, I felt a little funny.
On the phone, the old man said this.
"Li'an Community, Building 5, Room 402 on the fourth floor is haunted, I heard it last night, and I also saw it, haunted, I now suspect that the family is dead, I went to knock on the door in the morning, but no one answered the door."
I was a little sleepy when I heard such an alarm call, not because I had encountered a big case, but because I felt that the old man was a little ridiculous. But after all, our police are to solve these trivial things of the residents, and after I agreed to the old man on the phone, I went to the police according to the address that the old man said.
Li'an community is a community with a long history, and there are many elderly people who exercise in the morning. When I arrived at the scene of the crime, it was only 6:10. However, when I arrived, the informant, Chen Guangyao, had already opened the door and was standing at the door waiting for me.
At that time, Chen Guangyao claimed that he heard a strange noise next door last night, and even saw a female ghost in red, so he knocked on the door in the morning, but no one answered the door after knocking. And Chen Guangyao is very sure that the deceased had been at home last night and did not go out.
Perhaps it was because the old man was old and talked to me for a long time, but it was only later that I understood what was happening. Immediately, I knocked on the door of the deceased's house with the mentality of giving it a try. Indeed, no one answered.
There was no one in the room at all. It was only when I told Chen Kuan Yew about this conjecture that Chen Kuan Yew told me very excitedly that he was sure that there was definitely someone in the house, and he didn't sleep last night, and he didn't hear anyone leave the house at all. And this is the fourth floor, and you can't get out from the window at all.
Curious, I knocked on the door again and listened through the door. The room was quiet, eerily quiet.
Seeing this situation, I was helpless, because no one answered the door, I couldn't judge the situation in the house, and I couldn't listen to his words and trespass into the house, right? But at this time, Chen Guangyao took me into his house.
Chen Guangyao and the deceased were neighbors, and the two families were close to each other. Chen Guangyao took me to the balcony of his house, where I could see the balcony of the deceased's house.
Chen Guangyao motioned to me that I could enter the deceased's house from here. I was a little hesitant at first, but because of Chen Guangyao's insistence and the fact that what he said did sound strange, I finally feared that something would happen, so I climbed from the balcony of Chen's house to the balcony of the deceased's house next door.
When I entered the balcony of the deceased's house, I felt a little strange, because from here I could see that all the glass in the deceased's house was covered with dark window paper, as if the curtains were drawn, and the inside could not be seen from the outside.
It's the first time I've encountered such a strange situation, and after listening to what the old man said before, I also wonder in my heart, is something really wrong?
I knocked on the window, but there was still no answer, and there was silence in the room as if there was no one. I knocked on the window again, much harder, but no one answered me.
Later, I reached out and pulled the window in front of me, the window was locked, I couldn't hold back the doubts in my heart, thinking that it would be a big deal to compensate the occupant for a glass of glass, so I knocked on the window in front of me and turned over into the deceased's house.
Due to the deceased's window paper, the whole room was unusually dim, I don't know if it was a psychological reason, after entering the room, I felt a burst of moldy smell.
I raised my hand to chase away the unpleasant smell around me, and then asked, "Is there anyone at home?" I'm police officer Xiao Wang. Is there anyone in the house? Naturally, no one answered my question.
When I entered the room, I was in the bedroom of the deceased's house, and I saw that the bed in the bedroom was not folded, and it was supposed to be someone who had slept with it before. I walked down the bedroom into the room, pushed the door open and entered the living room.
The living room was originally built with good lighting, but the window paper was pasted, and the whole living room became dim, so I had to take out my mobile phone and turn on the mobile phone light to observe the whole house.
I don't know if it's because of the psychological reasons or the pressure brought to me by the whole house environment, standing in the living room, I feel an inexplicable depression and coldness. From there, I wondered what was going on here.
In the living room, there was still no one, and there was not the slightest sign of distraction in the entire living room.
Is there no one at home? Thinking of this, I went to look at the door lock in the deceased's home, the deceased's home was an old-fashioned anti-theft door, the anti-theft door was not only locked, but the hook that could only be hung from the inside was also hung. That's exactly what Chen Guangyao said, there are people here.
But if someone is there, why didn't anyone answer after I screamed so much, and where did someone go?
Because of this judgment, I began to get a little scared. Originally, this room was a little weird, and after confirming that there were people in the house, my heart also went up and down.
I looked around the living room a little more and made sure there was no one, so I walked towards the toilet. The toilet was dark, but with that kind of inference, I didn't dare to turn on the lights at will to destroy the scene, and with the light of my mobile phone, I walked into the toilet.
When I entered the toilet, I smelled a strong fishy smell. I was shocked when I smelled it. Although I haven't handled a major case, I'm still very familiar with the bloody smell of the occasional fight.
Sure that something had happened in the toilet, I looked around, but the toilet was the same, and there was no one except for the fishy smell that permeated the surrounding area.
Just then, I was startled by the sound of water coming up from the toilet pipe.
This is an old building, and the pump does not deliver water continuously, but three times a day in the morning, noon and evening. So each house here has several water storage tanks to store water in reserve when the water is delivered.
The sudden sound in the toilet was the sound of the morning water being delivered. I was taken aback, and just as I was scolding the water delivery man in my heart, drops of water overflowed from the tank above my head.
I dodged, but I was still drenched, and subconsciously reached out and wiped a handful of water on top of my head. To my horror, I found that my hands were full of blood!
